Between scheduling my life around pumping sessions and our freezer, which my husband says is a sideshow with all the frozen breast milk, I don't think I can go on for much longer! Good luck with the weaning! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weaning-pumping#post-279588 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 09:17:20 +0000 mediagirl 279588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Take your time. Slowly remove one pump session at a time. I think you need to go a week after dropping a session to get your body used to it. Then drop another session and wait another week. I follow a lactation consultant on twitter who talks about this. I think she may have a webinar or article on it. If you're on twitter (are you?) she's @nancyholtzman. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weaning-pumping#post-279575 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 08:30:11 +0000 winniebee 279575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 3.5 months and I exclusively pump. I'm also on a dairy free diet and at the end of my rope with it. I used to pump often and then reduced to 5x a day and now it's 4...but I still produce like 45 oz of milk a day and save 15 oz. So I have a good freezer stash for LO to have breastmilk for awhile longer. I want to reintroduce dairy and see how he does....and if he doesnt react well possibly stop pumping. </p> <p>Long way of asking....how can I wean pumping without getting mastitis/clogged duct?? </p>
